Drive benefits for the chemical industry:

Unmatched power density

H?gglunds drives are space-saving and lightweight solutions with torque and speed capabilities far beyond the expected. With no foundations or gearbox, they supply exceptional power straight to the driven shaft.

Stepless control of speed and torque

With gearless H?gglunds solutions, you can easily optimize the output and quality of continuous processes. Soft-started without any ramp times, they can be run at any speed within their range and switch effortlessly between forward and reverse. Torque – including torque well above nominal – can be supplied at reduced speed and without time restriction, so that you can make optimal use of the installed electric power.

Protection for your equipment

H?gglunds drives are insensitive to dirt, dust and moisture, but they also protect your equipment as a whole. Hydraulic pressure limiting creates an infinitely adjustable safeguard against torque stresses, while an extremely low moment of inertia offers protection at dynamic loads. You can take blockages and other overload situations in stride.

Ease in keeping things moving

With H?gglunds solutions, you can keep standstills to a minimum. Multiple pumps, for example, let you implement redundancy within the drive system. You can also start quickly after an emergency stop or power failure, because the electric motor has virtually no load and maximum torque is available from zero speed.

Easy integration with process control

Combining a H?gglunds system with your existing control systems is simple, both through different fieldbus cards and through optional interfacing with the drive’s control and monitoring unit. Process-dependent speed control and even torque measuring are convenient and cost-effective to implement.

Readiness for explosive environments

H?gglunds hydraulic motors are EX-proof from the start, complying with ATEX Equipment Category II G/D and Temperature Class T4. Drive units can be placed outside the EX-classified area or supplied in an EX-proof configuration for Equipment Category II 2G/3G and Temperature Class T3 or T4.

Improved working conditions

Besides being prepared for a tough production environment, H?gglunds drives can make it easier on your workers. Their gearless transmission of power means reduced noise levels in the production area.
